When I am reading my tv screen and I see that a particular company has “gone up” or “down”, where did that tv station or newspaper get the information so quickly to publish? Actually more specifically, how does all this information about pricing of stocks in general get reviewed and published so instantly? How does this happen and what system enables it to happen? How is it so incorruptible?

Does the after hours trading price determine the stocks opening price on the next day? Lets take poor old wamu (WM) as an example. On friday WM close at 0.1604, but the after hours trading price indicates it’s now up 1.53 to 1.69. So does this mean that if the market were to open right now WM would open at 1.69? If after hours trading doesn’t determine a stocks next day price, what does? Thanks in advance.

When stock values go down like they did today (800 points at one point of time), where does the value of the stock really go? Sure, people who own the stock lose money because of de-valued stocks, but where does the worth of the stock really go? Does it just disapear? How can consumer confidence, which is just an intangible feeling, affect value of stocks like that?

What does the ex-dividend date mean?

How can you trade stocks so you buy it in time to obtain the dividend, but make money and sell it too? Or are dividend stocks better to hold and get income? What are some good stocks to buy?

I’m looking to get into the stock market soon with this big drop in the stock market. What are some stocks to do research on if you want to buy low and sell high. Also should one wait to buy stocks for a few more weeks or even months to see if the stock market continues to go down?

I want to buy some stocks on a budget ($300) but I don’t want to join a brokerage or anything. I want to purchase stocks and just keep them. Any information as to how and where would be greatly appreciated.

With the exception of a couple of rallies, why have the stocks been dropping since the election? Is it because investors have very little faith in Obama’s new policies? How low can the stocks go before they close the stock exchange?

2 part ?…If you know a company and think it would be a good investment, how do you find out if they have stock to buy?

If they don’t have stock to buy, how do you find out if they ever will?

Sorry, hope that’s not too confusing. I tried to find a company in the stock market. I don’t have a clue about stocks, but I tried searching for this company, and couldn’t find it. They are a relative new company about 5 yrs old, and I think they are going places. I would love to be able to purchase stock from them, but they don’t seem to be listed. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
